The Teaching of the Orthodox Church

The Orthodox Church has stood unequivocally against homosexual actions from the very beginning. Both Holy Tradition and Holy Scripture1 condemn the practice. What is more ambiguous, however, is whether homosexuality is a genetic, inborn orientation or a personal choice; there are Orthodox who argue both ways. In either case, any practicing Orthodox Christian cannot at the same time be a practicing homosexual.
